Alexandre Volkanovski is back at the entrance and is the first champion of the tournament due to his KO at UFC 294.
Rappelez-vous, Alexander Volkanovski accepted a fight with short notice (11 days before) in the face of Islam Makhachev in the UFC 294 suite to the blessing of Charles Oliveira who initially developed before the lightweight champion in the title.
Malheureusement for the detenteur of the plume poids, it is the worst met by Makhachev in the first round in the Etihad Arena. This is the case, Volkanovski has a whole suite that says he can recover the best possible fight and then he will fight against UFC 298 face-to-face with Ilia Topuria.
Desormais, Alexander Volkanovski is returning to the entrance and sharing the images of his first sparing.
He took the opportunity to give news of his health and here is what he said:
“I just did my first workout. So I had to follow all the protocols, the concussion protocol and the return to training protocol. I followed all protocols to the letter. There were no symptoms. “
“I felt very good. No shots, no symptoms. So we continue to unfold… I’m very, very happy about it. I am very grateful to the team that supports me. My team and doctors have treated thousands of concussions, so they made sure I followed the protocols to the letter. I feel very good. I was able to train until the end. We still have a lot of time before camp starts. Now I will be able to adapt to a complete training program. “
Alexander Volkanovski is therefore on the right path to defend his title at UFC 298 and will be able to begin his training camp with peace of mind. But be careful, it won’t be easy, because Ilia Topuria will want to go 15-0 by becoming the new featherweight champion. And the latter already knows how he is going to beat Volkanovski.
